Without Jamie Vardy's 18 league goals this season Leicester could be 18 points worse off and be down amongst the mid-table teams.

The Hinckley Times have taken away each Premier League side's top goalscorer's goals away and calculated how many points the team would have won without them.

Vardy has scored 18 goals for Leicester this season, without which they'd have 18 fewer points (35) and potentially be down in 10th place behind Liverpool.

No other club's top scorer has had a bigger influence this season.

Removing Watford's Odion Ighalo's goals would leave the Hornets 15 points worse off this season. That's the second highest points difference for any other club's top scorer.

Harry Kane has 15 league goals to his name this season, the third highest in the division. However, removing those goals would only have influenced the outcome of one match this season - Spurs' 1-1 away draw with Arsenal in November. It means that Tottenham would only be one point worse off without the England forward's goals this season.

Removing the goals scored by the Premier League's second highest goalscorer, Romelu Lukaku, would mean that Everton would be eight points fewer than what they have this season.

Manchester City would be just five points behind this season without Sergio Aguero's goals, as would Manchester United without Wayne Rooney's goals and West Brom without Salomon Rondon's goals.

Chelsea without Diego Costa would be nine points worse off than they already are, and so too would Sunderland, Swansea and Stoke without their respective top scorers.

Liverpool have two top goalscorers this season - Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino.

Benteke's goals appear to have been more crucial though.

Jurgen Klopp's side would be five points down without Firmino's goals but seven points down without Benteke's.
